Yeah because the software was written by hand and not by another computer

Now if I mix 10% Brazilian concentrate with 90% Australian water do I have orange juice that is 90% made in Australia?
That's what is happening now, and they even add in the costs of bottling, pacaging, advertising, transport, overheads, and manufacturers, wholesalers margins in assessing the Australian content.

When I was wondering whether to use the term "hand made" on my web site, I decided not to, and came up with the following:
I use a mix of traditional and modern methods, and although all of my work is hand finished, I use machines and power tools for roughing out. If I make a dovetailed box or drawer, the dovetails will be hand cut, because they have an appearance that no dovetail jig or machine can achieve. Some techniques have become traditional for very good reasons: they may be the strongest, they may be the best looking. I only deviate from traditional methods when quality won’t be compromised.
I guess the converse of the last sentence is that, if a modern method (including machinery) does a better job, I'll use it.
